We had a good time, but I don't think HAL is for us

Review for a Caribbean - Southern Cruise on Koningsdam

We are a husband and wife in our mid-30s from Central Florida. We have sailed Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Princess, and now for the first time, Holland America. We chose this cruise for the pricing, the itinerary, the newness of the ship, and that it had a bit of Celebrity's design influence. We don't like belly flop contests and the party atmosphere of other lines, and we don't mind sailing ...

We arrived in Ft Lauderdale after driving about 3 hours across the state from SW Gulf coast of Florida. Parked at Park-n-go which is very close to port and they discount the rate substantially if prepaid reservations are made on line. Arrived at terminal about noon. Longest lines we have ever experienced on HAL. Got checked in after about 30 minutes in line and then waited about 30 minutes to ...

We have sailed many times on Holland America and had no reservations about booking with them again. We chose this trip because of the itinerary. We were disappointed in this trip. We flew in to ft Lauderdale the evening before embarking in case of bad weather...a real possibility flying out of Iowa in December. We arrived at the port 1 and found a huge line waiting to embark. We were ...

When we were looking to book a cruise, the review of between 4 and 4.5 attracted our attention, we also liked the displayed itinerary Holland American listed. We had a well maintained and spacious suite, access to the Neptune lounge was convenience, the fitness center though small but well kept with decent equipment. I just didn't like the limit selection and quality of their seafood (baby shrimp ...

This is just our second cruise so we are by no means any experts so read this review with that in mind. Check in was smooth and easy we were a bit late from delayed flight so we checked in around 2:00PM and it was not that busy. We also were able to access our cabin right away. Went to the LIDO for lunch and it was not so busy which we found out later in the cruise was not the norm. If you ...

They did get the guy away from food. I was told they sent him to the infirmary. I was stunned they had let him handle food. He did wash his hands after blowing his nose & sneezed into his elbow. I left and found someone immediately to alert them they had a sick person handling the food. They did let me know they handled it.. I have always enjoyed the more mature crowd on Holland ...

Gimmicks and Hoaxes on the Eurodam, December 2018

Beware! There are many gimmicks, schemes, and hoaxes running rampant on the Eurodam. My family of 5 just returned from a 10 day cruise RT San Diego on December 9, 2018. My family and I were trusting and gullible and fell for many appealing offers that never panned out. We received a $40.00 credit for 2 photos from Costco that the Photo Gallery staff did not want to redeem, and ultimately, they ...

Chose this cruise for the itinerary. Ship still in great shape, wish I could say the same for daily onboard activities. Absolutely nothing to do during pool hours. This is a ship for the very old. Both the wife and I are 65 and we were some of the younger passengers. Coming off the Oasis of the Seas, Koningsdam will put you to sleep. Except for BB Kings blues club, the ship closes down by ...

Usually I love Holland America but Koningsdam isn't up to the normal HL standards. There is no library, the promenade deck has blocked views and no where to sit. The casino and the back deck are exclusively for smokers (as you can not breath if your a non-smoker in either of these two venues. Food in the MDR was never hot, mostly lukewarm. Most of the time what showed up on your plate was not ...
